Both look like a range refusing to work and neither is a failure. Read what is on the display before deciding the appliance is dead. ### What it usually means, by the kind of Samsung appliance Samsung sells one appliance in several forms, and the same behavior points at different things on each of them. A built-in side-by-side and an integrated column are not the same service situation, and a dual-fuel range and an induction range fail in different halves. - **Electric and induction** — 240 volts, and half of it missing gives a lit clock and no heat. - **Gas** — The oven needs electricity even though the burners do not, so a gas range with no power will light on the top and do nothing below. - **Slide-in models** — Often on a dedicated circuit behind the appliance that has been switched off during other work. ### The one to take seriously bAd LinE is the range telling you its power connection is not right. On a 240-volt appliance a loose connection at the terminal block heats up, and that is not a repair to work around. If your range is showing it, it should be looked at by somebody qualified rather than used carefully. ### The one that is free C-F0 is a communication error between the boards, and Samsung names three induction range models — NSI6D*9100, NSI6D*9300 and NSI6D*9500 — where a software update resolves it with no service at all. Checking whether your model is one of them takes two minutes and can end the whole matter. The power connection Samsung's bAd LinE. A loose terminal or a missing leg. This one is not to be improvised with. Control lock Set while cleaning the panel. Free. Samsung's tESt. Everything responds, nothing heats. Cooktop in use Blocks Self Clean only, and means a burner is still on. Board communication Samsung's C-F0, and on three named induction models it is fixed by a firmware update. Read the display bAd LinE, tESt, Cooktop in use and C-F0 all mean specific things and none of them is a dead range. Check the breaker, both sides A double breaker with one leg tripped is the classic. Look for a lock icon And hold the lock button for a few seconds to clear it. Turn every burner off Including any left on a very low simmer, then try Self Clean again. A dark panel, or one that responds and does nothing What it usually means Samsung's bAd LinE means the power connection, not the appliance Cooktop in use blocks Self Clean and is not an error Control lock is set by accident while cleaning, constantly Look for a message rather than a silence Samsung publishes bAd LinE for a power connection that is not right, and Cooktop in use for Self Clean being blocked by a live burner.

On an electric or induction range that fits half the supply missing precisely: the control runs on one leg and the heating needs both. Have the breaker and the connection checked. ### It works again if I turn the breaker off and on. That is worth telling us. A range that recovers with a power cycle and then fails again is usually a communication or a control problem rather than a heating one. --- **[Read full article: Range will not turn on](https://samsungmiami.support/symptoms/range-will-not-turn-on/)**
